Since everyone’s finding old and new friends, take a moment to read my story, I’m a 32yo polio survivor because I was not vaccinated. Pass on my story, repeat it, tell it to any vaccine hesitate parent. No kid deserves vaccine preventable diseases www.voicesforvaccines.org/as-a-polio-s...

My mind went to the Fermi Paradox as well, Sean. It isn't clear to me that life everywhere would be single chirality. My thought was, much like yours, that more likely there's just lots of dumb shit you can do to destroy everything and sooner or later "intelligent" life figures that dumb shit out.

Thank you to patients and staff of Gresham 1 & 2 wards, and our Croydon PICU & HTT teams, for your warm welcome today at the always incomparable Bethlem hospital.
